ONE SHEET:

CRACKMONKEY RECORDS

11A Munro St, Brunswick, Victoria, Australia 3056

(+61) 415-423-372

 

ARTIST:          TALKSHOW BOY

TITLE:               TESTOSTERONE!

YEAR:                2007

LABEL:              CRACKMONKEY RECORDS /POCKETCLOCK RECORDING COMPANY

                             /RA RA REVOLUTION (in the USA)

 

Talkshow Boy (Adrian Trajstman, b.1985, Aquarius) pushes his romantic, aesthetic and political agendas to the sounds of cute majorchordal breakbeats, tiny melodic cut-ups and anemic blastbeats. Think of the songs of pagans filtered through mid-90s Euro dancepop - asinine handclap bullshit paired with obligatory fandom-centric shoutouts (mainly Twin Peaks and Neighbours).

 

On his third viciously human album, Testosterone!, Trajstman plays the role of Tomyum Texmex, a young upstart determined to own his zone and "keep it real'n'shit"  in a world saturated with wack mash-ups, 'boys clubs' and P2P2P2P2P. Hard pop collages collide with ringtone remixes as Texmex spits directives over twenty-first century tone cycles. Testosterone! is an album about positive action and seizing slogans – it is an album that celebrates "just doing it" and acknowledges the gorgeous global network of young punks into subcultural subversion that help keep things DTE. 

 

Featuring sexy guest vocals by: Katy Keene (Gameboy/Gamegirl, Service Station Youth), Jess Pushpop (Gameboy/Gamegirl, Service Station Youth, Wolfbrother), Tranter (Gameboy/Gamegirl, Wolfbrother), Escobar Hardcore Amsterdam (The Salivation Army, Mona Lisa Overdrive), Bekka Punishment (The Salivation Army), Motley Krueger (Spitfire Parade), Huge Eugene Hyland (Keith! Party, The Ballarat Courier), Cathead LaQuack (Keith! Party, Spitfire Parade), Worm (Keith! Party) and Richie!

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Talkshow Boy is not single. Talkshow Boy has previously produced for and performed in: Cattle of the Sun, Service Station Youth (AKA Nervous Nation Youth), The Undead Against You, Keith! Party and Shits vs. Giggles.

ONE SHEET: 

ARTIST:                   TALKSHOW BOY

TITLE:                       BEST BEAST EVER

YEAR:                         2007

LABEL:                      CRACKMONKEY RECORDS

 

Talkshow Boy (AKA Adrian Trajstman, b.1985, Aquarius, devastatingly attractive) is Australia's most successful hard pop star because he does everything on his own terms. Often his productions are OVERCOMPRESSED and TREBLE-HEAVY with a strong emphasis on MAJORCHORDAL movements and fluid beatcraft. Lyrically, the songs are all HEART – passionate/terrifying phrases, cheesy BIG-UPS and NEO-DADA SLOGANEERING. Talkshow Boy raises the roof at house parties, warehouses, pubs, galleries and extreme fashion shows – his performances are SLAMMIN' FLUX and y'all are invited to participate in these wild break-pop events.

 

With cover artwork recalling Henry Fuseli's "The Nightmare", Best Beast Ever is Talkshow Boy's (fourth) hard-hitting concept album – a beefed-up opus concerned with themes of self-improvement, stress relief, personal bests and voodoo. Over the course of the album's half-hour, Trajstman plays the role of incubus incredible wrangling clusters of drowning beats and 17 kHz tones, a fool on a lifelong journey spitting triple-tracked abstractions in an effort to evolve from Bad Beast to Better Beast to Best Beast Ever. 'Classics' by The Specials, Nine Inch Nails and The Residents are redefined as goofy rave-ups on this landmark avant-pop release. Tropical cache-hop, fruity goth breaks and approximated 'commercial' poptones are favoured over MOR-electropop and samey roboshit. Flick that fader on your console, selecta – spoil yourself.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Talkshow Boy is not single. Talkshow Boy has previously produced for and performed in: Cattle of the Sun, Service Station Youth (AKA Nervous Nation Youth), The Undead Against You, Keith! Party and Shits vs. Giggles.

1) Adrian (Age 22, Aquarius) pushes his romantic, aesthetic and political agendas to the sounds of cute majorchordal breakbeats, tiny melodic cut-ups and anemic blastbeats.


2) Think of the songs of pagans filtered through mid-90s Euro dancepop - asinine handclap bullshit paired with obligatory fandom-centric shoutouts (mainly Twin Peaks and Neighbours).


3) Singer/Songwrecker! One Truth! One Remedy! Talkshow Boy is a highbrow ploy to get "cash" and "chicks" thru wordplayability. Samples found from the internet underground tweaked 'til they peak beyond recognisability.


4) Ostensibly Australia's "best" (!?) pop genius - nothing but topnotch beatpop quality!? This shit has to be seen to be believed, man.



5) Talkshow Boy is the musical pseudonym of bedroom-buttonpusher
Adrian K-Sahara (AKA Adrian Trajstman). His music is frantic and romantic -
ridiculously hyperactive, glitchy avant-pop full of urgency.


Inspired as a youngster by the do-it-yourself ethics and cutesy imagery of
bands like Bis, Cub and Tuscadero, Talkshow Boy began writing one-minute
guitar ditties based around topics such as current crushes, kittens, samurais
and cold weather. After discovering experimental electronic music, the guitar
numbers slowly reduced and Talkshow Boy's bedroom yelping started to be
accompanied by a frenetic and slap-dash orchestra of blips and stutters.


He has self-released the cassette & CD 41-song platter of "Perestroika Love", in early 2003, a wide-ranging set of short, frenetic tracks with recurring themes of Ukraine, monks, spiders & revenge, spanning recording periods that almost qualify it as a career retrospective. He followed this with the more cohesive, also self released CDEP "Blood-Sexy", a darker but still excited affair about vampires, cinematography & kleptomania, seeing the increase of slight hip-hop touches to the enormous head-shaped cauldron that composites Talkshow Boy's music. Next, Pocketclock released the "Ice Police" CD single, a slap-happy electro number as danceable as it is infectious -- very. The a-side, "Ice Police" is fundamentally about the split between hot and cold during the warmer months of summer -- more specifically it is about kissing an icy-mouthed girl on a hot day, whereas the b-side, "Blood Squad" is an embrace of the 'ruby fuel that powers our every move' and a rejection of the fear of it. Reviewers equally loved it, calling it "brilliantly daft janglepop for anyone who ever went over to their friends' house to play with their brand new Yamaha/Casio keyboard in about 1987, then went mental with the presets while pissing themselves with laughter on the floor while someone deadpanned nonsense like 'I was the polar bear/You were the Eskimo' until you couldn't even remember why you were laughing so much before rolling away to play Mega Man." (Clem Bastow, Inpress) and loathed it, "So rinky-dink, twee and just plain stupid that it makes The Wiggles singing 'Hot potato, hot potato' sound like Schubert by comparison." (Neala, Beat).  The promotional, free-for-download "Ice Police Rmxz" album soon followed on Pocketclock with the title track being re-jigged by likeminded electro-boffins such as Pompey, Schizoid, Gltch Btch, Proboscis Lounge, Blackbauble, Sienmilki, Vinylvandal, Waffles and Goosedaemon. You can download the Ice Police remixes here.


Talkshow Boy also remixed The Emergency's single We Got The Horror. He'd remix you! I'd know because I am he! Why is this in the third person!? Plenty more remixes in the works.

Talkshow Boy also plays in Service Station Youth (aka. Nervous Nation Youth) - a scream-pop/digital hardcore band, and played in The Undead Against You, a horror punk electro-surf duo with Lisa of Kickface infamy.

Pretty much every single Talkshow Boy song, and release, including the new album "Watch As I Perform My Own Tracheotomy" is available for 100% FREE DOWNLOAD HERE AT MY WEBSITE because I'm sick of people charging money for music when they don't have to. Idiot capitalists.

Current mood:queasy/uneasy
New Talkshow Boy tunes are up on my profile.
There's Sienmilki's 8-Bit Remix of "Ice Police", the old tunes "Checkylist (I'm Not Catholic)", "I Hate The World Times Infinity" and a track entitled "I'm Not A Tortured Poet (I'm Too Fucking Predictable)" lifted from my upcoming album out early '05 on Pocketclock.

Recently I have been listening to the following immeasurably special recordings which I wholeheartedly endorse. They'll bring you oral.

Jason Forrest - "The Unrelenting Songs Of The 1979 Post Disco Crash"
Whirlwind Heat - "Flamingo Honey"
Coachwhips - "Bangers Versus Fuckers"
Pink And Brown - "Shame Fantasy II"
Agoraphobic Nosebleed - "Altered States Of America"
The Residents - "The Third Reich 'N' Roll"
The Residents - "Meet The Residents"
Girl Talk - "Unstoppable"
Knifehandchop - "How I Left You"
Cobra Killer - "76/77"
Kid606 - "Who Still Kill Sound?"
Godflesh - "Songs Of Love And Hate"

In other news, I have a whole slew of shows in December with Mandy Kane - pretty much every Thursday at The Armadale. I'd recommend you attend if you value good things. Check that expiration date, man - it's later than you think...

Thanks,
Adrian (xo)

We'll speak soon.
